Most of our homestay families are located in the Greater Toronto Area, approximately 45 to 50 minutes by public transit from ILSC. Homestay accommodation is our most popular program at ILSC Toronto. The Homestay Program provides our students with the opportunity to learn English by living with a Canadian family.
